Freelancing. Working from home or a coffee shop sounds ideal, but the reality can be disappointing. At home you are quickly tempted to clean up first, and in a coffee shop you quickly pay a lot of money for coffee, lunches and later another coffee. And the wifi, that is not always perfect. That is something that girl boss Emilie Sobels also encountered.


She opened a co-working space Hashtag Workmode in Amsterdam. A place for women where you can rent a nice workplace. After the opening, it was full within two weeks. What makes this place full of freelance women with ambition, creativity and expertise a success? She now also has a branch in Rotterdam and will open a branch in Utrecht at the end of 2017. How did this co-working space come about? You will hear it in this podcast.

I wanted to spar with colleagues and people around me. I missed the office environment. A job function email database place where you do your work, and can also end your working day.

"I get 90 to 95 percent of my business from Instagram." On her own Instagram, she has about 13,000 followers and on the Instagram of Hashtag Workmode 18,000 followers. How did she do this? Sobels shares a number of useful tips that you can also apply to your Instagram strategy. For example, always be personal and tell a real story. People love people.

Instagram is the perfect channel to inspire people. Young women between 20 and 35 are on that platform a lot. They are very active. They see directly what our spaces look like, what the feeling is, what the atmosphere is. They get an immediate picture of who we are.

What else can you listen to in the podcast? Sobels shares her big failures. From transferring the wrong salary for a year to not checking an interview in which you are dismissed as a man hater. You will hear it all in the podcast.
